Have Faith!

Hello, Friends!  I've made another card and it's hopefully in the hands of the recipient by now.  This one's a little different for me but here it is!

I started with some new Brushos, sprinkled onto some Bristol paper, spritzed with water and let them do their thing!  After drying, I cut it into an oval, cut the branch and spritzed it with glimmer mist and set that aside to dry.  I stamped VersaMark onto a small piece of deep purple cs, heat embossed with silver, then cut a slice of gray cs a little larger, adding fishtails to it.  Some sprinkles were placed onto the flower centers.  Here's a close -up, wishing you could see the glimmer mist better!

Since the days have been a little gray off and on, the picture doesn't do this justice, but hopefully you'll get it idea...  Hmmm another watercolour that isn't Autumn! I'll make it into that challenge one of these days...

Sentiment Backdrops ala Jennifer McGuire

I saw this on Jennifer McGuire's blog, and knew I had to try it!  She made hers one layer by using the right cs -- I however did not so my panels are added onto a card base but I love the technique!  Here are my two...

Just a little appreciation, and thinking of you...

CAS Mix Up - October

Well, well, I finally made it again!  I've really been wanting to try this "new to me" ghosting technique, and I found a little inspiration (ok, a LOT) in Loll's card, below...

It's a beauty, right!?!  She is just soooo amazing!!!  I needed to stock up on a few "encouragement" type cards, because I had donated a bunch , so I made this...

I made this baby to send over to CAS Mix Up, and super excited because I thought I could also enter the new "sister" challenge CAS Watercolour, but alas I learned that it had a theme of Autumn.  Anywhooo I started with a Bristol panel, and watercolored with Brushos.  BTW I think I'm in love with this color! Then I went back and did the new-to-me ghosting technique with a stencil and water, and let that dry.  I die cut a couple flowers, layered by 3, and stamped a little sentiment.  This was quite fun!

Fusion 10/6/16 -- Happy Birthday, Daughter #1!

I'm actually pretty excited how this all came together!  Sometimes (ok, a lot) I have great "plans" and then I muff it up, it doesn't look the same on paper as it did in my head or SoMeThInG happens!!!  I know it happens to everyone, but I think a little more to me since I'm relatively new to all this...

Well Daughter #1's Birthday was actually yesterday but since she was out of town with her hubby, we'll be celebrating today.  Goodness!  She's the big 3-0!!  That doesn't make me old, right?  Well, before I keep you too long, I'll let you take peek...

I stamped the image and colored with Copics, added a few white gel accents, masked and ink blended through a stencil for the sun, cut the base and main image layers with stitched detail and mounted to the cs.  Glossy accents were applied to noses, eyes, balloons plus a few random ones to imitate the balloons.  A close-up of the details...

This was a fun card to make!  It will be sent to Fusion Card Challenge.  I was inspired by the layout, although it's totally in a scene instead of different cuts.  I couldn't make the chairs in the photo fit the stamp, go figure!

Get Well Wishes

This card's off to a friend who is recovering from surgery.  I've already heard she's doing well but I wanted to spread a little cheer  :0)  I stamped the image, colored with my ZIGS, die cut and popped up the image on a woodgrain cs, added some glossy accents and then stamped a sentiment and "frame" around it on the inside.  I wanted to leave the image center stage so opted to not put a sentiment on the front, besides I kinda really like that woodgrain showing too!
